Two armed robberies in city RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

wo separate armed robberies in the city this week affected two businesses when the owners and personnel of one of the companies had to look down the barrel of a gun. The latest incident, early yesterday (Wednesday) morning, saw an employee of one of Polokwane’s biggest hardware stores narrowly escaping with his life when at least four armed robbers awaited him at the gate of a security complex in Bendor. An eyewitness on the scene described how a white Volkswagen Polo blocked the way when the victim exited the complex. “The next moment shots went off and the victim drove off in his BMW. The robbers chased after him,” the eyewitness recalled. Polokwane Observer saw security footage of the incident which clearly shows at least three men approaching the BMW while the driver of the suspected attackers, a Polo, blocked the road. The victim made a dash for

No xenophobic attacks in Lim yet RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Recent outbreaks of apparently xenophobic attacks on shops and property of foreign nationals in Soweto and other areas of Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape have made for a sense of unease among residents who fear that similar incidents may occur in Limpopo. However, Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto has assured that no such incidents have been reported yet. “We will continue to keep a close eye on the situation and will attend with highest care to any incident that might lead to xenophobic attacks in Limpopo,” she said. Last week Gauteng Police arrested at least 121 people in connection with violence and looting of foreign-owned stores in Soweto, a situation that resulted in the death of at least two teenagers. Otto urged people to report xenophobic related incidents immediately at the nearest Police station.

a possible escape route via the pavement amid a shower of bullets. The victim supposedly had a large amount of money in his vehicle. It was learnt that the victim later returned to the scene where he was met by Police. The general manager of the hardware store confirmed the incident. “The employee and his wife escaped unharmed. We wish not to contemplate or speculate on what led to the robbery,” he said. At the time of going to press Polokwane Police Spokesperson Lesiba Ramoshaba said Police were still at the scene and that no information was made available yet. On Monday the owner of a well known nursery was robbed by two armed men on the premises of his business. Westenburg Police Spokesperson Mohlaka Mashiane said two suspects allegedly entered the offices during the early morning hours. “They allegedly held the owner at gunpoint and stole cell phones, jewellery and an undisclosed amount of money. We have not made any arrests yet,” he said.

Sakeman, vier ander verdrink binne week in provinsie Van bl 1 verlede Woensdag ‘n tienjarige seun se liggaam uit ‘n dam by Ga-Molepo gehaal. Nog twee kinders het in Mecklenburg verdrink. Volgens die polisiewoordvoerder, Mmatlou Setati het twee kinders van 13 en 16 jaar Sondag in ‘n waterpoel verdrink. “Die poel is nie groot nie, maar diep. Ons vermoed beide het verdrink nadat die een die ander wou red,” sê Setati. Volgens ‘n lid van die duikeenheid het ‘n sewejarige seun in ‘n dam naby Gilead ook verlede week verdrink. “Benewens verdrinking, moet ons byna daagliks lyke uit damme haal. In Thohoyandou en in Vleifontein naby Elim het ons lyke van mense uit damme verwyder wat vermoedelik vermoor is waarna die liggame in die damme gegooi is,” sê die lid. Familie en vriende van Grobler het sedert Sondagmiddag nadat hy onder die water verdwyn het, op die oewers van die dam gewaak. Vriende het ondersteuning kom bied aan familielede wat angstig gewag het terwyl die duikeenheid sedert Sondag na sy liggaam gesoek het. Nie lank na Polokwane Observer se aankoms op die toneel nie het een van die duikers die liggaam, nie ver van waar Grobler die laaste keer gesien is nie, opgemerk. Grobler se vrou, Sandra sê hy was saam met vriende op ‘n boot toe dit vermoedelik onklaar geraak het. “Hy het aangebied om oewer toe te swem om sy boot te gaan haal. Een van sy jonger

vriende wou in sy plek gaan, maar Gustav het daarop aangedring om self te swem,” sê sy. Hy het glo ingeduik, opgekom en weer onder die water verdwyn. Toe sy vriende besef hy is moontlik in die moeilikheid is hulle agterna, maar kon hom nie vind nie. Nooddienste is dadelik ontbied en die polisie se duiksowel as honde-eenheid was reeds Sondagmiddag op die toneel om die dam te fynkam. Die soektog is Maandag voortgesit, maar was vrugteloos. “Gustav was ‘n verantwoordelike persoon in die water en ‘n goeie swemmer. Ons weet nie wat gebeur het nie en kan ook nie bespiegel nie. Hy was baie lief vir die buitelewe en veral visvang. Ons was byna elke naweek, soms net vir twee ure, langs ‘n dam. Dit is waar my man gelewe het,” sê Sandra. ‘n Familielid het op die toneel gesê dit is hartseer dat dit waarvoor Gustav die liefste was, op die ou end sy lewe geëis het. Teen druktyd was begrafnisreëlings nog nie gefinaliseer nie. Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto sê verskeie mense het die afgelope tyd regoor die provinsie verdrink. “Die grootste oorsaak kan toegeskryf word aan kinders wat nie kan swem nie. Kinders koel veral in die nedersettings in die somertyd in damme, riviere en poele af. Voorvalle waar bootjies omslaan of kinders hulle met die stroomsterkte van riviere misgis, word ook gereeld aangemeld,” sê Otto.

Call for rescue From page 1 team where the affairs of the Department of Education was concerned was stressed by Democratic Alliance (DA) Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle, who was joined by fellow-committee members calling for the immediate removal of the administrator, investigations into the actions of the administrator, steps against the administrator if necessary and all related reports be handed to Scopa for perusal. Shortly after summarising the demands Scopa Chairperson Rob Tooley announced a closed session to discuss the suggested intervention. It came at a time of a possible provincial cabinet reshuffle as all eyes are fixed on Premier Stan Mathabatha who is expected to appoint another MEC for Education in the vacant position left by Thembi Nwedamutswu and the anticipated departure of the administrators from Limpopo, which led to last week’s establishment of an inter-ministerial task team of MECs. The appointment of the preferred candidate in the position might not be a direct replacement but a resultant reshuffle, ruling party cadres pointed out. Some sources alluded to the likelihood that the post of MEC entrusted with such a crucial portfolio could be given to a female candidate again while others imagine it could call for a reshuffle among currently serving MECs. Sources were in agreement that the person who would take over at Education should be a dynamic individual who could take the department forward. The opinion was raised that Mathabatha should not be in a hurry to fill the vacant position. Consideration of an appointment would grant him the opportunity to assess performance by his line-up of MECs, of whom some had about eight months to prove themselves in their current positions. A view that was expressed was that the line-up of presently serving MECs had too short a period in office to be judged on performance. It was learnt that Health, being one of the key departments, would most likely come under scrutiny. According

to sources doubt existed whether MEC Ishmail Kgetjepe was the right person for the job as the department was seen to be failing in meeting certain demands for service delivery, especially during the period of administration. From inner ruling party ranks came the indication that Kgetjepe could be more suitable for the Education portfolio, considering his past career in that sphere. Kgetjepe’s department has been under administration with four others since December 2011. A senior cadre in the ruling party in the province indicated that the system wasn’t agile as long as the team of administrators remained in Limpopo. When approached on the matter Provincial Government spokesperson Phuti Seloba stressed that running a province should not be likened to coaching a soccer team whose reserve players warmed up throughout the game in anticipation to be fielded any time. “We would like to appeal to the people of the province to stop with their speculations because it could demoralise persons hard at work taking this province forward. Such speculations may be based on malice.” On the issue of the administrators expected to present Mathabatha with a final report before their departure, Seloba mentioned an inter-ministerial task team of four MECs, headed by Treasury MEC Rudolph Phala, was appointed by the Exco last week. Wednesday’s appointment of the task team was aimed at following up on matters to be raised in the anticipated report, Seloba stressed. They would be looking at, among others, fast-tracking ongoing investigations and disciplinary action dealt with by the administrators, he said. The focus would further be on competent people to take the province forward and ensure 5 December 2011, when Limpopo departments were placed under administration, remained a no-go area, Seloba reiterated. The Exco simultaneously approved a procurement and supply chain policy for the province, he said, to curb unnecessary spending of taxpayers’ money, guaranteed value for money

and improved quality of services accompanied by compliance monitoring. Work on the policy developed by the Department of Provincial Treasury started late last year and it was approved after recommended amendments were made, he concluded. Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) Provincial Secretary Gerald Twala reiterated a previous demand for the departure of the administrators. He said it would grant the Premier and provincial government the opportunity to fast-track service delivery. Questioned about their preferences for the appointment of an Education MEC, he said in terms of the challenges posed to the department the individual should be very strong. He indicated they would be meeting with Mathabatha and the ruling party next week to make known their preferences in that regard. Cosatu’s Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) would conduct an analysis of the performance of MECs when they meet again in February, Twala concluded. South African Communist Party (SACP) Provincial Secretary Gilbert Kganyago could not be reached for comment in his capacity as representative of the alliance partner. On behalf of the DA Smalle said the Department of Education needed a very strong individual with a strong academic background in the position of MEC. Referring to urgent intervention required at the department, he said a lot more than only one or two appointments needed to be done to see change happening. If the expected reshuffle on the cards resulted in any fatalities it would be interesting to see who it was going to be, he concluded. Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Provincial Leader Michael Mathebe echoed similar sentiments when saying the Premier should appoint a capable person who would be equal to the task. It should be a non-factional appointment, he reckoned. The Department of Education should be considered as critical and needed rescuing, he reiterated.

yf-en-dertig nuwe leerders sonder heenkome wat Dinsdagoggend by Laerskool Pietersburg-Noord Primary (Noordskool) aangemeld het nadat hulle vroeër deur die taakspan van die department van onderwys se distrikskantoor en die skool geïdentifiseer is, is ter elfder ure geakkommodeer en kon gister (Woensdag) die nuwe skooljaar begin. “Ons stel die belang van leerders eerste en Noordskool sal alles in sy vermoë doen om almal wat verkies om hier skool te gaan en kwalifiseer, te akkommodeer. Die skool het reeds ‘n week gelede by die distrikskantoor van die department van onderwys vir die goedkeuring van ‘n addisionele onderwyspos aansoek gedoen. Die department is versoek om die nodige hulpmiddels soos meubels, skryfbehoeftes en handboeke te voorsien,” sê skoolhoof Attie Visagie. Die atmosfeer by die skool was Dinsdagoggend kalm en ondanks ‘n gerug dat skoolaktiwiteite ontwrig sou word, het die dag normaal verloop. Jossey Butane, provinsiale sekretaris van die Ekonomiese Vryheidsvegters (EFF), het teen 07:15 by die skool opgedaag en die ouers van die nuwe aankomelinge meegedeel dat hy nie sal vertrek voordat die onderwysdepartement ‘n addisionele onderwyspos goedgekeur het nie. Die leerders van verskillende grade en hul ouers het Dinsdag in die skool se personeelkamer gewag aangesien geen addisionele leerkrag beskikbaar was om die leerders te onderrig nie. Butane het aan Polokwane Observer gesê dat hy nou moeg is vir die departement van onderwys se beloftes en dat hy daar is om te verseker dat hul belofte van ‘n addisionele leerkrag en hulpmiddels nagekom word. ‘n Ouer wat buite die skool gewag het en nie sy naam wou verstrek nie, het gesê dat beide sy kinders volgens die normale prosedure ingeskryf is en dat hy net wou seker maak dat hulle nie ontwrig word nie. Hy sê dat Laerskool Pietersburg-Noord Primary sy skool van keuse is en dat hy verstaan waarom ouers soveel moeite doen en daarop aandring dat hul kinders daar toegelaat word. Ouers van leerders wat nie toelating by skole kon kry nie, het op 12 Januarie ‘n drukgroep onder die naam “Polokwane School Placement Committee” gestig en beywer hulle vir die toelating van alle leerders. Dié groep het ook aanbevelings aan die deparetment van onderwys gemaak wat onder andere ‘n versoek vir nog drie laerskole vir die stad en die omskepping van Afrikaanse skole in meertalige skole insluit. Paena Galane, woordvoerder van die departement van onderwys, kon nie teen druktyd bereik word vir kommentaar nie, maar Visagie het gister (Woensdag) bevestig dat ‘n onderneming van die departement verkry is en dat die 35 leerders nou tydelik geakkommodeer is deur interne skuiwe te maak. Die ooreenkoms met die department van onderwys behels dat ‘n onderwyser en hulpmiddels teen die einde van hierdie maand beskikbaar sal wees.

DA asks for high level intervention in Mogalakwena crisis YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Issues of concern arising from happenings at Mogalakwena Municipality has moved the Democratic Alliance (DA) to request a special meeting of the parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs for a host of high level role players to present comprehensive reports on the crisis within the institution. In a letter dated Monday, DA Shadow Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Kevin Mileham requested the committee chairperson to convene a special portfolio committee meeting for Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Pravin Gordhan; Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs MEC Makoma Makurupetje; Provincial Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola and the Municipal Manager of Mogalakwena to present reports on the matter. He further requested the presence of the parliamentary legal adviser at the proceedings. In the letter, of which a copy was provided to Polokwane Observer, he referred to the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, Mmusi Maimane, recently being prevented by the South African Police Service from

entering the premises of Mogalakwena Local Municipality. He mentioned a previous letter to the chairperson stating that the shocking turn of events at the institution required urgent investigation and a comprehensive plan of action to address problems. Mileham further asked to be advised on an earlier discussion on a report on the Mogalakwena situation. At the same time he indicated that it would be greatly appreciated if the proposed meeting could be convened before 17 February. From DA Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle it was learnt that the DA was in the process of further considering legal action arising from events at Mogalakwena Local Municipality. Smalle also referred to the incident involving members of Mogalakwena Residents Association at a stadium in Mahwelereng on Sunday, a gathering aimed at apparently planning protest action against the municipal institution and the Police, when rubber bullets and tear gas were reportedly fired. In this regard Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto indicated that seven members of a concerned group of residents were granted bail of R500 each on Tuesday after being arrested for alleged public violence during an incident at Mahwelereng the previous day.

Westenburg Police need the help of the community to locate the family of a man suspected of being hit and killed by a train on Monday morning. “The man is Zimbabwean and 34-years-old. We could not yet locate his family and can therefore not release his name. We urge people to visit the Westenburg Police station with any informa-

tion that might lead to the location of the family,” Police Spokesperson Mohalaka Mashiane said. He said on Monday morning at around 05:00 a passerby came upon the shocking sight of a man whose body parts were allegedly scattered around the track at the scene of the suspected incident between Westenburg and Nirvana. Mashiane said Police found the man’s passport on the scene. An inquest docket was opened.

In a follow-up conversation at the time of going to press he indicated that they still needed to conclude consultations in that regard and would most likely finalise the programme of action within the next two weeks.

Ladanna fearing eviction while the bill for municipal services by then totalled more than R1 million amid nonpayment of rent over many years. Asked about the latest developments in the matter this week, DA Legislature Member Langa Bodlani said he simply awaited the findings by the Public Protector, which in the past apparently indicated to the tenants that they had no case, before advising the concerned individuals that the DA would not continue pursuing the matter.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Limpopo is awaiting a report by the Public Protector on an issue relating to a pending rental row over two apartment blocks in Ladanna before finally distancing the party from the matter. Last August Polokwane Observer reported on the DA intending to step in after being alerted to a situation by tenants of apartment blocks in Pietersburg Street in

Stad in greep van verval >> ‘Ons betaal ons rekeninge getrou en verwag beter diens’ >> Slaggate, gebarste waterpype en oorvol vullishouers ‘n algemene gesig BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com ‘n Stad wat agteruitgaan in plaas van vooruit. “Polokwane is ‘n stad met die potensiaal om as die skoonste stad in die land bekroon te word, maar die plaaslike munisipaliteit het duidelik nie die wil om die eersteklas diens waarvoor inwoners elke maand betaal, te lewer nie.” Dit is die mening van belastingbetalers in die stad. Sypaadjies waar waterpype weke gelede gebars het se rommel en materiaal

wat uitgegrawe is en nie verwyder word nie is stille getuienis dat ‘n gebrek aan bestuur en toesighouding aan die orde van die dag is. Slaggate oral in die stad word dieper en groter en die opgekapte teerstukke word net so gelaat tot lank nadat herstelwerk gedoen is. Die tydsverloop vandat slaggate uitgegrawe is totdat dit uiteindelik toegemaak word, dui op ‘n gebrek aan koördinasie tussen die onderskeie spanne wat ‘n gevaar vir motoriste inhou omdat dit nie behoorlik gemerk word nie. Padtekens wat beskadig is, word nie herstel nie en tuine en parke word nie onderhou nie. Kragmeterkaste se deure word ongesluit gelaat en lê op sypaadjies. Dié toedrag van sake en vele ander is al verskeie kere onder die aandag van die munisipaliteit gebring en die versekering word telkens gegee dat alles moontlik in die stryd gewerp sal word om die knelpunte aan te spreek en op te los. Hierdie beloftes werp duidelik selde vrugte af.

Limpopo vierde op ranglys OBSERVER van Eskom-wanbetaling Januarie 29, 2015

WILLIE ESTERHUYSEN >>willie.e@mwebbiz.co.za

ie gesamentlike skuld van die 28 munisipaliteite in Limpopo aan Eskom het aan die einde van verlede jaar byna R222 miljoen bedrae. Dit plaas die provinsie se munisipaliteite vierde op die ranglys van wanbetalers, met die Vrystaat (R1,6 biljoen), Mpumalanga (R1,5 biljoen) en Noordwes (R672 miljoen) onderskeidelik in die eerste, tweede en derde posisie. Landwyd het munisipaliteite se skuld gedurende 2014 met meer as R2 miljard toegeneem. In Januarie 2014 het dié skuld R2,3 miljard beloop en teen die einde van 2014 het dit tot meer as R4,6 miljard gegroei. Tiaan Esterhuizen, bestuurder van die burgerlike organisasie, AfriForum se gemeenskapstrukture, sê AfriForum wil weet wat die wanbetalers met die geld doen.“Belastingbetalers wat elke maand getrou hul rekenings betaal het nie krag nie as gevolg van munisipaliteite se swak finansiële bestuur,” sê Esterhuizen. Munisipaliteite se skuld Vrystaat R1 606 430 495 Mpumalanga R1 478 699 504 Noordwes R671 565 715 Limpopo R221 666 382 Gauteng R213 785 845 Oos-Kaap R188 727 702 Noord-Kaap R142 940 425 Kwazulu Natal R63 466 453 Wes-Kaap R21 182 475 Volgens Esterhuizen moet munisipaliteite wat versuim om hul rekenings te betaal se lisensies om krag te voorsien, gekanselleer word. AfriForum meen die privatisering van elektrisiteitsbestuur sal onbekwame munisipaliteite uitskakel, wat probleme met elektrisiteitsvoorsiening die hoof sal bied. Die privatise-

ring van elektrisiteitsvoorsiening kan ook invordering van skuld doeltreffender maak en meer akkurate rekenings aan verbruikers verskaf. “Die tyd het gekom dat private maatskappye toegelaat word om ook aansoek te doen vir lisensies om krag te versprei,” is Afriforum se mening.

Vermorste watermassa spuit ses meter ver Duisende liter gesuiwerde drinkwater het Woensdag weer in vloedwaterslote verdwyn toe ‘n pyp in Marshallstraat laatmiddag gebars het. Die dik waterstraal uit die brandkraan het minstens ses meter ver gespuit en opportunistiese voertuigbestuurders het sommer van die geleentheid gebruik gemaak om hul voertuie vir ‘n vinnige was onder die water in te trek. Werknemers van die munisipaliteit was egter vinnig op die toneel om die vermorsing te minimaliseer. FOTO: WILLIE ESTERHUYSEN

R1 bil adjustment budget for muni BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

ervice delivery in Capricorn district got a major boost following a budget adjustment from the original budget of R897 million to R1 billion for the 2014/2015 financial year that was approved by Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) last Friday following a midyear budget review wherein areas that require additional funding were identified. Moffat Senyatsi, Media Liaison Officer of CDM in a media release stated that the total budget was increased by 21% (R191 million) which was derived from an increase in capital budget and a decrease in operational budget, resulting in an increase from R293 million to R442 million in

capital budget and a decrease of R732 million to R727 million in operating budget. “This means that some of the capital projects such as water services have gained more resources and funding while others, such as roads will lose their budget as CDM does not implement roads projects anymore. The adjustment will help the municipality to address the current service delivery backlog in water which is now 11% and ensure that all households have access to water,” the statement read. “As the district nears the end of the council term, the council has committed the budget to finish a suite of capital projects that were identified during the beginning of the 2014/15 financial year,” Senyatsi concluded.

Lim DA prepares for elective congress YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the province is preparing for an elective congress scheduled for the third week of February which could see current Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle retaining his position.

ing finalised this week. The congress, planned for 21 February, would be expected to elect a provincial leader, deputy leader, chairperson and two deputy-chairpersons. He said 362 voting delegates would attend the congress. The congress is held every three years, it was learnt. Predictions are that Smalle could retain his lead when branches elect their preferences. A senior DA leader indicated that Smalle enjoyed favourable support while DA Legislature member Bodlani Langa would be a front runner for chairpersonship.

Local artisan launches a career inspired book HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

“Here I am living my dream.” These are the words of Alfred Matshebelele, a qualified mining engineering artisan and author of a newly launched book titled ‘The Artisan’. Matshebelele said the book is aimed at encouraging young people to become artisans and thereby address shortages in the field as well as to inspire young people that they can make it in life regardless of the challenges they are confronted with. “South Africa is a developing country and there is a need for more artisans. “We need to address the shortage in order for us to progress,” Matshebelele said. He also mentioned that with the book he wants to show young people that anything is possible in life. “We just have to exert ourselves in everything we do and focus,” he insisted. Matshebelele, who hails from Ipelegeng near Thabazimbi, matriculated in 2001 and was hired by Anglo American as a pipe track ventilation assistant at their Amandelbult Mine. While working as an engineering assistant he enrolled for evening classes to improve his Mathematics and science. This in turn led to his enrolment at an institution of higher learning where he completed his artisan’s course in Mechanical Engineering. Further in-service training saw him become a foreman at Anglo Platinum’s Mokgalakwena Mine where he is currently employed. The Artisan is self published and more can be read about it on ndababooksconner. blogspot.com.

Gemors langs Nikkelstraat ’n kopseer vir sakelui BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

akelui in Nikkelstraat in Nirvana is raadop oor munisipale vullishouers in die parkgedeelte oorkant hul besighede wat nie gereeld leeggemaak of vervang word nie en oor die gemors wat dan in en om die houers ophoop. Martin Maartens, bestuurder van ‘n onderneming wat oorkant die park sake doen, sê dat die gemors ‘n gesondheidsrisiko inhou omdat inwoners van omliggende woongebiede ook saans en oor naweke afval op dié perseel stort. Volgens Maartens help sy eie veiligheidswagte om mense te ontmoedig om hul afval daar te stort. Hulle help glo ook om vullis wat rondwaai, op te ruim. Ander sakelui wat nie hul name genoem wil hê nie, het ook bevestig dat die gemors onaanvaarbaar is en dat hulle al by die owerheid daaroor gekla het. Hulle sê dat die vullis wat gereeld aan

die brand gesteek word, rook veroorsaak wat by hul kantore inwaai en ‘n gesondheidsrisiko vir personeel inhou omdat dit plasties is wat brand. Los papier en karton waai ook die straat vol en ontsier besigheidspersele. Polokwane Observer het die stand van sake onder die munisipaliteit se aandag gebring en Tidimalo Chuene, kommunikasie- en bemarkingsbestuurder van die munisipaliteit, het bevestig dat die munisipaliteit ‘n kontrakteur met twee voertuie aangestel het om die gemors wat om die oorvol vullishouers ophoop, te verwyder en dat die werk vandeesweek ‘n aanvang sal neem. Volgens Chuene word die situasie vererger omdat haweloses in die houers rondkrap en die gemors net so buite die houers laat. Polokwane Observer het ‘n week gelede weer ‘n besoek aan die park gebring en hoewel heelwat van die vullis opgeruim is, het die terrein nog veel te wense oorgelaat.

Werk spaarsaam met water, maan munisipaliteit BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Die munisipaliteit doen ‘n dringende beroep op verbruikers om water spaarsaam te gebruik en nie hul tuine nat te gooi nie. Hoë temperature die tyd van die jaar het hoë waterverbruik tot gevolg en plaas baie druk op die stad se waterreserwes. Die vlakke van al die reservoirs wat inwoners van die stad van water voorsien, uitgesluit die reservoir in uitbreiding 34, is steeds laag en wek groot

kommer. Volgens die munisipaliteit se jongste verslag, was die vlakke van die 50 megaliter en die nuwe 30 megaliter reservoirs Dinsdag 35% (teenoor ‘n week gelede se 50%) en 24% (teenoor 40%) onderskeidelik. Die reservoir in Potgieterlaan se vlak was 57% (teenoor verlede week se vlak van 93%) en dié van die hoofreservoir in Seshego onveranderd op 36%. Die reservoir in uitbreiding 34 se vlak was op 94% teenoor die 95% van verlede week.

Heino Lombaard se voertuig sak weg nadat die grond meegegee het.

root paniek het geheers toe die grond onder Heino Lombaard se voertuig meegegee het en die voertuig sowat ‘n meter op ‘n sypaadjie in die stad weggesak het. Lombaard en sy vriendin, Chantel Duvenhage het sy ma, Gerda wat in die Anitaparkmeenthuiskompleks in Ooststraat woon, besoek toe die voorval gebeur het. “Dit was ‘n groot skok. Ons het net met die Toyota Tazz gestop toe die grond onder ons voertuig

meegee,” sê Duvenhage. Nadat hulle sowat 45 minute vergeefs gesukkel het om die voertuig uit te kry is dit met behulp van ‘n bakkie uitgetrek. Die omvang van die skade aan die regterkant van die Toyota is nog nie bepaal nie en om finansiële redes nog nie herstel nie. Die gat het vermoedelik ontstaan nadat ‘n waterlek in Desember deur die munisipaliteit herstel is en die gat nie met genoeg grond opgevul en gekompakteer is nie. Die opsigter van die kompleks het self die gat na die voorval opgevul.

Die konsentrasiekampkerkhof waar ‘n groot groep slagoffers van die AngloBoereoorlog te ruste gelê is, is met onkruid en gras oorgroei en word deur haweloses as eeten slaapplek gebruik. Die eens trotse gedenkmuur waarop die name van gestorwenes verskyn se basis dien tans as slaapplek vir haweloses wat bedags hul beddegoed en rommel net daar agterlaat. Die beeld van ‘n dogtertjie wat oor die begraafplaas staar en vir die tweede keer vroeg verlede jaar gesteel is, is steeds nie vervang nie. Volgens Afrikaner-kultuurleier, Johan Willemse, is die saak by die Polokwane Munisipaliteit se versekeraars aangemeld en die amptenary het te kenne gegee dat die beeld vervang sal word. “Jo Roos, die beeldhouer wat intussen oorlede is se vrou, Dingi het bevestig dat die beeld se oorspronklike vorm behoue gebly het en dat haar seuns ‘n nuwe beeld kan giet,” sê Willemse. Teen druktyd kon geen bevestiging van die munisipaliteit verkry word van die datum wanneer die beeld weer in sy glorie herstel sal wees en welke maatreëls ingestel gaan word om die terrein te beveilig en op te ruim nie.

Red lewens in 2015 met jou bloed Raju, kommunikasiebestuurder van die diens. Sedert die begin van Januarie het die daaglikse bloedvoorraad tot slegs 1,6 dae gedaal wat heelwat laer is as die vyf dae bloedvoorraad wat nodig is om in die land se behoeftes te voorsien. Om dié veilige bloedvoorraad te bereik, moet daar daagliks 3 000 eenhede nasionaal ingesamel word. “Met 2015 onderweg word ‘n beroep op skenkers gedoen om bloedskenkingsklinieke as ‘n aksie vir die nuwe jaar aan te neem want bloed red lewens,” sê Raju. Die SANBS wil alle skenkers aanmoedig om op ‘n gereelde basis bloed te skenk. Toegewyde skenkers wat vier keer ’n jaar bloed skenk, sal met ‘n spesiale uitgawe sportsak van die SANBS beloon word. Die minimumvereistes is dat skenkers tussen die ouderdom van 16 en 65 jaar oud moet wees, meer as 50 kg weeg, goeie gesondheid geniet en ‘n veilige seksuele leefstyl lei.

Two in court for drugs worth R8 million

Selected products on this page have been styled for photography

Two Zimbabwean women, Memory Maphosa and Lesotho citizen Vuyiswa Mabasa appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday on a charge of possession of drugs worth more than R8 million. They remained in custody and the case was postponed until 3 February for further investigation. Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto stated that the two women were arrested at Beit Bridge late Sunday night when they were walking across the bridge from Zimbabwe into South Africa. “They were stopped and searched by officials of the South African Revenue Services who found them in possession of a drug like substance. The Police were called in and it was determined that the women were allegedly carrying ephedrine, one of the main substances of heroin,” Otto said. The women were allegedly carrying more than 18 kg of the substance. Investigations to determine where the women were coming from and where they were heading to are still being conducted.

Police made a major breakthrough when a 28-year-old rape suspect from Bolobedu was arrested on Friday. The man faces charges of the alleged rape of five elderly women between 2009 and 2013. He appeared in the Bolobedu Magistrate’s Court on Monday where he was denied bail. He will remain in custody until his next appearance on 27 February. Police Spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe stated that the alleged incidents occurred at Bochabelo, Ga-Abel and Ga-Ntata villages respectively where he supposedly targeted elderly women who were tending to maize fields. The alleged victims are between aged 53 and 75. “His method of raping them was found to be the same except in one incident where he allegedly broke into the victim’s home and raped her. The rest were targeted in the fields during the day,” Ngoepe said. The women’s description of the rapist and similarities in the modus operandi as well as forensic evidence led the Police to believe that the attacks were carried out by the same person.

Akademie Reformia se splinternuwe terrein BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

eerders van Akademie Reformia het met die begin van die skooljaar met groot opgewondenheid hul nuwe terrain met 12 nuwe klaskamers op die plaas Tweefontein in gebruik geneem. Volgens Marietha Nel, skoolhoof is dit ‘n enorme prestasie omdat die bouwerk eers verlede jaar in November begin het. Klaskamers is met lugreëling toegerus en die rustige plaasomgewing skep ‘n vreedsame atmosfeer. ‘n Kantoor is in aanbou en grondwerk op die terrein vorder fluks. Die sportveld is reeds vroeër voltooi en daar word met groot verwagting uitgesien na die skool se eerste Bokkesport wat Saterdagoggend (31 Januarie) op die terrein plaasvind. Die skool huisves tans 120 leerders van graad 1 tot graad 7, 60 kleuters van twee jaar tot graad R-vlak en 15 leerkragte wat verseker dat die leerders individuele aandag kry. Volgens Nel bied die skool die gewone akademiese vakke aan, maar lê klem op Christelike karakterontwikkeling. “Christelike karakterontwikkeling sluit sterk werketiek in wat die skool baie gewild maak. Omdat die totale ontwikkeling van die kind vir ons belangrik is, word sport, kultuur en addisionele musiek by aktiwiteite en programme ingesluit.” Die skool het etlike jare gelede grond in Akademiestraat aangekoop vir ontwikkeling, maar intussen besef dat dit te klein is vir hul behoeftes. Die grond is toe verkoop en die nuwe perseel is aangekoop. ‘n Toegangspad vanuit Aloesstraat moes gebou word as deel van die huidige ontwikkeling en die straat sal binnekort ‘n naam kry. Nel sê die ongelooflike vordering wat met die bou van klasse en terreinontwikkeling gemaak is, is te danke aan besighede, vriende en ouers wat hulp en materiaal aangebied het.

World Religion Day celebrated in Polokwane LEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK >>leandri.observer@gmail.com World Religion Day was celebrated at the SABC auditorium in Polokwane last Sunday. The programme consisted of prayers, songs, dance presentations and brief talks by the representatives of various religions. Parvin Shaker, one of the organisers reported that at the introduction of the programme the holy scriptures of some of the world’s greatest religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha’i, were quoted on the theme of unity. He added that he spirit of the day was very aptly captured in a quotation from the writings of the Baha’i religion: “The people of the world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God”. Commenting that the celebration of World Religion Day is a wonderful means of bringing the believers of the various world religions together in a spirit of love and fellowship Shaker said: “It allowed everyone to realise that world unity and peace are indeed possible when we realise that we are all the servants of one God. It is hoped that this event will be celebrated every year as it contributes towards bringing us closer to realising unity and peace in our communities and in the world in general”. World Religion Day is celebrated annually on the third Sunday of January. Anyone interested in participating in next years’ event should call Reina Molapo on 082 662 9655.

Successful release of poisoned and injured vultures

polokwane

leven Cape Vultures took to the skies in the late afternoon sun after a short downpour of rain after being successfully treated and rehabilitated for poisoning and other injuries at Crown Rehabilitation and Wildlife Conservation Centre (CRWCC) outside Polokwane recently. Although rather reluctant to leave the safe haven of Crown initially after spending a couple of months being treated and rehabilitated, the majestic birds spread their wings to join the few remaining colonies of Cape Vultures remaining worldwide. Limpopo is home to the largest colonies of Cape Vultures, with breeding colonies found in Moletji, Blouberg and Marakele National Park. But the Cape Vulture remains under threat due to eating poisoned carcasses laid out by farmers to kill other vermin and the use of certain parts of vultures for muti by traditional

healers. CRWCC owner Rene Olivier was understandably delighted with the successful treatment and release of the vultures on Friday. “The team that tagged the soon-to-bereleased birds last Saturday commented that

they have been among of the healthiest Cape Vultures ever to be released after being successfully treated and rehabilitated for poisoning,” Olivier said with pride. Out of the 17 vultures that were brought

One of Cape Vultures that was treated and rehabilitated at Crown Rehabilitation and Wildlife Conservation Centre (CRWCC) outside Polokwane spreads its wings before taking to the sky. to CRWCC over the past few months, fourteen have been successfully rehabilitated, an excellent survival rate, the beaming animal lover explained. A quick turn-around from the sombre moments experienced earlier as shortly before the arrival of Polokwane Observer on Friday, another badly injured Cape Vulture was brought to the centre by a farmer in the Blouberg area. After a quick and professional examination, a visibly distressed Olivier quickly composed herself and informed Polokwane Observer that the badly injured bird would have to be euthanized the next day. The vulture was found to have one of the worse cases of a broken wing Olivier said she has ever witnessed in her seven years of treating injured animals and birds. The vulture also had a broken leg and was highly stressed and in pain.

With the help of her assistant Gift Kwaramba, Olivier stabilised the vulture with a tube fed into the crop of the injured animal for its last day on earth before being taken to the vet the next day to be put down to relieve it’s pain and suffering, clearly caused by the folly of mankind. CRWCC is busy with the completion of a large bird aviary in order for raptors and other birds to become flying-fit before their release. The largest aviary at an animal rehabilitation in Limpopo, according to Olivier measures 40 metres long and ten metres wide and has a height of 6,6 metres and has been built with the assistance of a number of sponsors. Olivier would like to thank Jaco and Bossie Jacobs, Rodney Sanders, Consolidated Wire Industries, NTK Vivo, Neels Zeelie, Linmarie Olivier and Cyril Scholtz for making the much-needed aviary become a reality. CRWCC does not only treat and rehabilitate injured birds alone. When Polokwane Observer visited the centre, a number of mammals and smaller creatures had found temporary shelter at Crown. Among these were mongooses, civets, skunks and a number of small antelope such as duikers and steenbok. Interested parties that would like to contribute towards a good cause at CRWCC can email Olivier at rene@crownrehab.co.za or check out their website on www.crownrehab.co.za.

Generous donation as city welcomes Blue Bulls BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

olokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng on Friday evening hosted a gala dinner for the visiting Vodacom Blue Bulls team that was due to play in a warm-up game against the Toyota Cheetahs in the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to receive a donation of R50 000 towards the Executive Mayor’s Bursary Fund. In her welcoming address, Nkadimeng thanked the Vodacom Blue Bulls for their continued support of the City of Stars and empha-

sised that the city embraced the fact that sport brings people together and plays a critical role towards social cohesion. “As a result, we have resolved to deliberately use sporting events to empower disadvantaged individuals and assist in providing them with access to schooling, recreational activities as well as relief where needed. The clash of the giants in the city continues to be the greatest contributor to the Executive Mayor’s Bursary Fund,” Nkadimeng added. In conclusion she mentioned that during 2013, an amount of R1,7 million was raised through sporting and other events from which 30 charity organisations benefitted and

Chief Executive Officer of the Vodacom Blue Bulls, Barend van Graan, reciprocated and announced that the Vodacom Blue Bulls will make a donation of R50 000 towards the Bursary Fund and that the cheque will be handed over after the game on Saturday. Chief Executive Officer of the Toyota Cheetahs, Harold Verster, also thanked the city for the hospitality and both Vodacom Blue Bulls Coach Frans Ludeke, who hails from Polokwane, and Naka Drotské of the Toyota Cheetahs took the opportunity to entertain the guests with stories from past games.

Limpopo Guest Manor receives R100 000 from Ledet HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Mmabogoshi Msiza owner of Limpopo Guest Manor was on Monday presented with a cheque for R100 000 for winning the National Lilizela Emerging Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year Award (Eteya) last year October. Economic Development, Environment and Tourism MEC, Seaparo Sekoati handed over the prize money and congratulated the management and staff of the establishment for winning such an esteemed award in the industry and thereby putting the province on the map. “Our province continues to display prominence in this category and we are very content with that trajectory as this will grow tourism and economy in our province. Winning this accolade puts our province on the world tourism map while the winners also receive unparalleled exposure locally and internationally,” Sekoati said. Referring to the fact that, since the inception of the award, the province has registered four national winners and six runners-up the MEC said: “This is a clear indication that we are growing from strength to strength and in the process, made immense impact on small medium micro enterprises who won this accolade. We wish to express gratitude to LTA for encouraging tourism products in the province to enter for this competition as this helps in improving the conditions of the products,” Sekoati said. Limpopo Guest Manor Owner, Mmabogoshi Msiza said she is going to reinvest the money into the business, with the new product to be launched soon. “We were not expecting the money but

there are quite a few things in the pipeline and we are also planning to refurbish some of the rooms,” Msiza said. She also mentioned that their occupancy rate has increased since been bestowed with the national award. “We have seen lots of changes. The occupancy rate for weekends has moved up from 30% to 60%, while our conference occupancy has also moved from 70% to 90% and we are happy with the increases,” Msiza said. She reiterated that she was happy to have won the award because it epitomises the long, arduous journey that Limpopo Guest Manor team has travelled in the past nine years.

“This award is bigger than me as an entrepreneur, bigger than Limpopo Guest Manor as a player in the tourism sector. Most importantly this award is dedicated to the broader Limpopo tourism family, for our achievement is a reflection of the excellence, the zeal and commitment of stakeholders to position our province as the ultimate ecotourism destination,” Msiza said. The Eteya award is a category of the Lilizela Tourism Awards which recognise and reward tourism players and businesses who work passionately and with pride to deliver a world class product and service and whose delivery grows South Africa’s global destination competitiveness.

Anton du Bruyn, bestuurder van die DBV, sê dat die organisasie altyd ‘n behoefte aan skenkings van dierekos het en nooi diereliefhebbers ook uit om by die DBV aan te doen indien hulle diere wil aanneem. Tania le Roux, skakelbeampte van die DBV, raai persone wat diere vermis aan om eerste by die DBV navraag te doen. Indien die viervoetige nie daar is nie, kan die navraagvorm voltooi word en ‘n foto van die vermiste dier ingehandig word.

LEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK >>leandri.observer@gmail.com Sy groet hartlik maar onder die glimlag steek sy ondraaglike pyn weg. Annatjie Minnie (45) het in Maart 2014 verneem sy het borskanker nadat sy vir meer as twintig jaar voordurende las van klonte in haar borste gehad het. Die klonte moes gedreineer word en het met die tyd vermeerder wat beteken het dat Annatjie meermale tyd in die hospitaal moes deurbring. Annatjie en haar man, Charles (55) is albei ‘n paar jaar gelede medies ongeskik verklaar vir werk en is tans van die provinsiale hospitaal se dienste afhanklik. Die maatskaplike toelae wat hulle ontvang is nie genoeg om aan ‘n privaat mediese fonds te behoort nie. In 2010 is Annatjie se behandeling deur die provinsiale hospitaal geweier omdat haar lêer na bewering weg was. In 2013 het die Minnies genoeg geld gespaar om ‘n privaatdokter te besoek maar weens omstandighede buite haar beheer het sy eers op 17 Maart 2014 ‘n afspraak vir ‘n mammogram gehad. Die uitslag was positief en borskanker is gediagnoseer, maar sy kon eers na ses maande ‘n opvolgafspraak kry om die status van die kanker te bevestig. Sy betaal steeds af aan die rekening vir die tweede ondersoek. Annatjie ondergaan tans chemoterapie by die Polokwane Provinsiale Hospitaal en moet in Maart aanmeld vir ‘n derde sessie. Intussen het ‘n sekondêre abses in haar regterbors ontwikkel. Chantal Wessels, die Minnies se dogter het by verskeie ondernemings onsuksesvol vir hulp aangeklop. Sy het uiteindelik van die diensorganisasie Vision of Hope te hore gekom en haar tot hulle gewend. Vision of Hope het die Annatjie Minnie Fonds gestig om haar te help om ‘n dubbele mastektomie te ondergaan en die nodige medikasie te ontvang. Anne-Marie Booysen, voorsitter van die organisasie met ‘n aantal takke in Limpopo, sê: “Ons beplan om ‘n ontbyt te reël waar kaartjies verkoop sal word vir die fonds. Vergaderings sal vir verdere geldinsamelingsinisiatiewe vir die Annatjie Minnie Fonds gehou word.” Individue of sakeondernemings wat tot die fonds wil bydra of hulp in enige vorm aan die Minnies wil verleen, kan Booysen by 078 458 7503 of Wessels by 076 582 3988 skakel. Annatjie Minnie ontvang tans chemoterapie teen borskanker en het dringend geld nodig om ‘n dubbele mastektomie te ondergaan.

Die Voortrekkers se jaarprogram is vol interessante aktiwiteite soos die kommandokamp wat aan die einde van Februarie plaasvind en ‘n seekamp gedurende die wintervakansie. Lede gaan soos gebruiklik in Mei aan die kranslegging by die konsentrasiekampkerkhof deelneem en deur die jaar werk om kentekens vir vaardighede en aktiwiteite te verwerf.

Tshepo Nkoana, Grade 2 student at Pula Madibogo Primary School and Rejoice Mabudafhasi, Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture show off the national flag during Mabudafhasi’s visit last Thursday.

PACKAGES CAN BE STRUCTURED TO MEET YOUR NEEDS • MANY OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM.

Deputy Minister promotes national symbols, heritage A visit by Rejoice Mabudafhasi, Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture last Thursday, gave learners of Pula- Madibogo Primary School in Mankweng an opportunity to gain valuable information about the national flag, anthem and symbols. The purpose of Mabudafhasi ‘s visit was to heighten awareness and consciousness of national symbols, the national anthem and the national flag. Addressing the learners she said South Africa possesses unique and original national symbols and with its flag being one of the most recognisable in the world it is important for learners to know more about these symbols. “It is important that the learners know the symbols that define our national indentity in order to promote nation building to inspire pride in being a South African. The importance of being a citizen of this great nation is when all our people are a living expression of our constitutional values, principles and ideals,” Mabudhafhasi said. A South African flag the minister installed at the school was warmly welcomed by the educators and students. “The department has committed to installing flags in every school to inculcate a spirit of patriotism, nation building and social cohesion. We believe that by installing the flag here the learners will feel the spirit of patriotism every day they see the flag,” she said. Mabudhafhasi told the students that the National Anthem should be sung with the necessary respect. “ All should stand to attention with their hands placed at their sides while singing the National Anthem. Civilians should take their hats off as a sign of respect,” Mabudafhasi said. She further informed them about other national symbols such as the national flower – the king protea, national fish – the galjoen, national bird – the blue crane and national tree, the real yellowwood. Mabudhafhasi was scheduled to visit Ngwanatshwane Secondary in Mamone Village in the Sekhukhune area on Friday where she intended to create awareness in a similar fashion. Grade 6 learner at Pula-Madibogo Primary School, Malose Kganaga said he enjoyed the Deputy Minister’s session about the symbols that define the South African indentify. “It was informative and I have learned a lot. I was not aware of the National Anthem etiquette, because when you see different sport teams on television singing the National Anthem some put their right hands on their chests, others put both hands by their sides. It was confusing then but I am glad the Deputy Minister enlightened us in that regard,” Malose said.

Oosskool se Voëltjiesport vol opwinding BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos (Oosskool) het verlede week hul jaarlikse Voëltjiesport gehou. Vir baie nuwe leerders was dit die eerste geleentheid om aan formele sport op ‘n “regte” atletiekbaan deel te neem en vir meer gesoute atlete ‘n geleentheid om kragte teen mekaar te meet vir ‘n plek in die skoolspan, Naellope en velditems het vir groot opwinding gesorg en belangstellende ouers en vriende was langs die baan om die atlete aan te moedig. Gewillige ouers en vriende het ook met tydhou en ander take gehelp.

Die konsert word deur die Verteenwoordigende Leerderraad (VLR) geskryf en hulle is ook verantwoordelik vir die oefentye, choreografie en die eindproduk wat gaste vanjaar terug in tyd geneem het. Met Mosaïek word grootliks op die graad 8-leerders gefokus, maar daar is altyd ‘n verrassing. Elke hoërskoolleerder het aan die konsert deelgeneem en selfs onderwysers het ‘n beurt gehad om heupe te swaai. Die musikale blyspel van onder meer Elvis Presley tot hedendaagse pop met vurige danspassies handel oor ‘n toer om die wêreld asook ‘n terugblik in tyd.

Comfort, outright pleasure in the Mercedes-Benz GLA RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

Like any other Mercedes-Benz the GLA offers a luxurious interior designed from high quality materials for optimum comfort and safety.

he Mercedes-Benz GLA arrived in Polokwane amid a lot of keen expectation among outdoor enthusiasts as its looks present a combination of sporty lines and style elements characteristic of a sport utility vehicle (SUV). It is more dynamic than a classic sport utility vehicle yet more striking than a coupé and seemingly the ideal vehicle in which to explore the treasures of the Bushveld with family and friends. It offers a great deal of comfort for everyday use and outright pleasure when it comes to options such as panoramic sliding sunroof, variable boot space and connections for devices with internet access. The new GLA unlocks new creativity in the interior. It is the first premium compact SUV from Mercedes-Benz and

meets virtually any personal requirements. The variability of the interior makes this class an extraordinary model series. The availability of an equipment feature depends on engine and selected vehicle configuration. Some optional features include fourway lumber support in the seats, AMG Exclusive package, Easy-Pack liftgate, power driver’s seat with memory function, panoramic roof and heated seats. The GLA is available in diesel and petrol engine models. The directinjection four cylinder diesel engines deliver adequate power reserves and efficient propulsion. They come in two output levels that both demonstrate sustainable qualities, impress with a hefty torque and boast an instant throttle response even in the lower engine speed range. The petrol engines are the qualities of the engines for a new generation: the innovative engines of the new GLA

combine dynamic technology with fuel-saving tools. The high-pressure direct injection via precise piezoelectric injectors and an enhanced combustion process facilitate virtually total combustion and thus higher efficiency, which means that the fuel can be used more efficiently. Improved ignition pressure and turbo charging ensure high torque at any engine speed. The standard ECO start/stop function ensures that the engine is temporarily switched off if the vehicle is stationary, thereby saving fuel. Furthermore, the ECO display in the instrument cluster provides information about your own driving style. Two transmissions are available for the new GLA. Both are already in use to great success in other models of the new generation of compact vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. Both transmissions are perfectly tailored to the power output and the many challenges facing the new GLA, and set standards with regard to shift comfort and efficiency. Like any other Mercedes-Benz the GLA also features ample safety features. What began with PRE-SAFE® ten years ago and continued with DISTRONIC PLUS, Mercedes-Benz has now advanced into a new dimension in driving: Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive – comfort and safety have now been fused. Thanks to networking safety experts called this sensor fusion - the intelligent assistance systems analyse complex situations and recognise potential traffic dangers better using sensors positioned all round the vehicle. The GLA is available at Mercurius Motors Polokwane. Contact them on 015 299 9500.

veel moontlik items deelgeneem om punte vir die afsonderlike springbok-, rooibok- en bosbokspanne in te win. Vir meer ernstige atlete was die Bokkesport die ideale geleentheid om vir die strawwe seisoen wat voorlê te oefen. Ruan Kruger, o.14 het sommer met die intrapslag as groentjie gewys dat hy ‘n 1 500 m vinnig kafdraf en stel ‘n nuwe rekord van 05:33.00 op. CJ Nel, o.15 verbeter die 100 m-rekord na 11,53 sekondes terwyl sy broer, Johan, o.19, ook die 100 m-rekord laat spat met 11,09 sekondes sowel as die 200 m- (23,07 sekondes) en verspring- (6,76 m). Johan en Johnny Walgenbach het beide die vorige 200 m-rekord van 23.07 sekondes verbeter. Johnny se tyd is 22,46 sekondes.

Die o.19-verspringrekord van 2007 en ‘n afstand van 6,06 m is deur Johnny du Randt (6,22 m), Mahlatse Baloyi (6,07) en Levert Sykes (6,13) verbeter met Johan Nel in die eerste plek met 6,76 m. Elize Foster het die meisies se naam hoog gehou met haar nuwe rekords in die o.17verspring en -spiesgooi met afstande van 4,67 m en 31,28 m onderskeidelik. Die junior Victrix Ludorum-atleet is SashaLee Fick met Elize Foster as senior Victrix Ludorum-atleet. Die trofeë vir senior en junior Victor Ludorum het aan Johnny Walgenbach en CJ Nel gegaan. Die dag is deur die springbokke gewen met die bosbokke en rooibokke wat met tweede en derde plek onderskeidelik gelukkig moes wees.

olokwane City Football Club has fortified their squad by acquiring the services of former Asante Kotoko striker and Ghanaian u.20 star Ransford Osei on a three year contract. General Manager for the club, Costa Bellos said the striker will add value to the team and help them in their quest of finishing the Premier Soccer League (PSL) season in better position. “He is a fighter and we believe he will do the business for the team,” Bellos said.

Osei has also played for Dutch side FC Twente, Bloemfontein Celtic and Maccabi Haifa in Israel. Bellos also confirmed that former Golden Arrows midfielders Thokozani Mshengu and Njabulo Manqana failed to secure contracts at the club following a two week trial with the team. “They did not fit in with the coach’s plans and that why we could not sign them,” Bellos said. City has had a dream run in the PSL this season and is currently in 6th position of the league with 24 points after 17 matches.

ngeveer 11 000 rugbyliefhebbers het Saterdag op die Peter Mokaba Stadion saamgetrek om die Vodacom Blou Bulle en die Toyota Cheetahs se oefenwedstryd vir die komende Super 15- rugbyseisoen eerstehands te beleef. Die Bulle het reeds die dag voor die wedstryd by verskeie instansies in die stad hul opwagting gemaak en handtekeninge aan ondersteuners uitgedeel. Op die veld het hul ook nie teleurgestel nie en met ‘n 30-13 oorwinning die Cheetahs se sterte geknoop. Blou Bul-skrumskakel, Piet van Zyl het daarin geslaag om twee drieë te druk. In die eerste helfte het hy

reeds vroeg agter die doellyn gaan kuier. Laat in die tweede helfte van die wedstryd, met die telling op 9- 6 in die Bulle se guns het hy weer daarin geslaag om met ‘n perfekte duikslag die bal agter die doellyn te plant. Die Cheetahs se vinnige binnesenter, Francois Venter het kort daarna ‘n drie gedruk en sy span se punte tot 13 opgestoot. Willie Britz, Joe Pietersen, JW Jonker, Coenie van Wyk, Jean Cook en Lood de Jager het uitnemend op die veld presteer. Vir die Bulle het Van Zyl, Jesse Kriel, Jacques du Plessis en Arno Botha spogrugby gespeel. Die puntemakers van die Bulle is Van Zyl (2 drieë), Duncan Matthews (1 drie) met Tiaan Schoeman wat drie keer suksesvol pale toe geskop het. Jacques-Louis Potgieter het ‘n verdere drie stafskoppe deur die pale gejaag. Slegs Francois Venter het ‘n drie vir die Cheetahs gedruk wat Francois Brummer verdoel het. Joe Pietersen slaag met ‘n straf- en ‘n doelskop.

eeff Polokwane het Saterdag hul sesde Seeff Road Race in samewerking met Polokwane Atletiekklub (PAC) aangebied waarvoor ‘n rekordgetal van 790 atlete vir die gewilde wedloop ingeskryf het.

Die wedloop bied jaarliks vir atlete die keuse van ‘n 5 km-pretloop of ‘n 10 km-wedloop wat die ideale geleentheid is om vroeg in die jaar tekkies af te stof. In die 10 km-opeklas het Phuti Mohali, Emmanuel Ramahlodi en Papole Erasmus die eerste drie plekke in die mans-afdeling ingeneem terwyl Melani Melville, Nicolene de Jong en Elizna Kotze die vroue-afdeling kafgedraf het in goeie tye. Israel Machabane en Santa van Heerden was die eerste meesters om die wenstreep oor te steek terwyl Phuti Magagane en Lilana Mazzaro pryse as wenners van die grootmeesters-afdeling ontvang. P Mogomo en Melani Melville was eerste in die veteraanafdeling en Emmanuel Ramahlodi het ook die prys ontvang vir sy eerste plek in die juniorafdeling.

Zeca Marques ready to save Leopards New Black Leopards coach Zeca Marques is adamant that his team will finish the league in a better position come the end of the 2014/2015 National First Division (NFD) season in May. Leopards are currently in the 11th position of the NFD with 18 points after 16 matches. Since the departure of Kosta Papic who took the team to the National Play-offs last season, the team has been struggling to regain the form that made it a force to be reckoned with in the 2013/2014 NFD season. In their last 16 matches of the league the Venda based outfit lost eight matches, won five and drew three. They also parted ways with two coaches, Sean Connor from Ireland and former Free State Stars coach Mark Harrison since the

beginning of the 2014/2015 season. Marques, who coached Moroka Swallows and Bidvest Wits in his career, said his main objective is to help the team to be successful. “I have signed a five months deal with team. The Chairman called me and asked me to help the club and I saw it as a good opportunity. Black Leopards play well, we saw them in the Nedbank Cup and they did well and I just want to help the team to be successful,” Marques said. PHOTO: HERBERT RACHUENE

Jong duikinstrukteur behaal groot mylpaal

>> Jongste instrukteur in Suid-Afrika >> Wil kommersiële duiker word LEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK >>leandri.observer@gmail.com ‘n Jong instrukteur van Fins and Boots Diving Club, Caleb Jordaan, het homself onlangs na ‘n Instructors South Africa (ISA)kursus wat deur die Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (CMAS) onderskryf word as die jongste duikinstrukteur in Suid-Afrika bekwaam. Jordaan, wat in 2009 by Fins and Boots aangesluit het, sê sy belangstelling in duik is in 2007 geprikkel toe hy as graad 6-leerder aan Pietersburg Laerskool ‘n artikel oor duik gelees het. Destyds was daar nie vir juniors duikkursusse nie en hy moes twee jaar wag om sy droom ‘n werklikheid te maak. Jordaan het aanvanklik net geduik as ‘n stokperdjie totdat hy ‘n rugbybesering tydens ‘n skolewedstryd opgedoen het. Na sy besering het hy al sy tyd aan duik gewy en sy belangstelling het stelselmatig gegroei. Na skool het die hoofinstrukteur van Fins and Boots, André Fouche, hom genader en voorgestel dat hy ‘n meesterskursus voltooi. Jordaan het in 2014, na voltooiing van sy matriek die vorige jaar aan Hoërskool

Pietersburg, met die kursus begin en ook in Italië en Mosambiek geduik waar hy sy een, twee- en driester-duikopleiding voltooi het. Hy beplan om volgende jaar sy vlak 4- , 3en 2-kursus te voltooi en in 2017 die vlak 1-kursus in Skotland te doen. Die duikmeesterskursus wat hy voltooi het, behels dat hy praktiese opleiding kan gee, maar nie die teorie kan aanbied nie. Ter voltooing daarvin moes hy ‘n teoretiese en praktiese eksamen aflê wat ook bepaalde ure onder water behels het. “Ek het nooit daaraan gedink om duik as ‘n professionele beroep te beoefen nie, maar gelukkig het my instrukteur beter geweet en my in ‘n rigting gestuur wat ek sou geniet. Duik gee jou die geleentheid

om ‘n ander onbekende wêreld onder die water te ontdek,” sê Jordaan. Wat hom die meeste van duik fassineer, is dat dit interessant, anders en onbeskryflik mooi onder die water is. Die waaghals se raad aan toekomstige duikers is om dit vir die genot te doen. “Jy moet dit geniet, dit maak werk en verantwoordelik wees. Moenie grootkop kry nie en bly getrou aan jou duikskool en -instrukteur.” Jordaan is baie trots op dit wat hy reeds bereik het en beplan om in die toekoms ‘n kommersiële duiker te word wat op oorsese olievelde werk. Intussen geniet hy ook motorfietsry en het ‘n voorliefde vir ou motors.
